It marks the end of a jersey that sparked plenty of discussion. The French national team will no longer wear their so-called “Statue of Liberty” kit during this World Cup. A decision that now makes this shirt even more symbolic in the recent history of Les Bleus.
This jersey will therefore be linked to just one match: France vs Norway. A game that has already gone down in history, notably thanks to Ousmane Dembélé’s hat-trick. Worn only on that night, this kit becomes almost a one-of-a-kind piece from the 2026 World Cup for the French team.
A Unique Jersey in France’s World Cup Story
Since the start of the tournament, this jersey had generated a lot of reactions among fans. Its unusual design, inspired by the Statue of Liberty, divided opinion. Some saw it as bold and memorable, while others felt it strayed too far from the traditional identity of the French team.
In the end, its presence at this World Cup will have been very brief. Les Bleus are not expected to use it again for the remainder of the competition, further reinforcing its special status. Dembélé’s hat-trick jersey will remain a rare piece, tied to a specific moment in this tournament.
For the upcoming match against Morocco, France will return to a more classic kit. A more understated choice for a major clash, as Les Bleus aim for a place in the World Cup semi-finals. The “Statue of Liberty” jersey may be gone for now, but its story is already written: one appearance, a Dembélé hat-trick, and a unique place in France’s journey.
